Today I re-emerged it and got this difference within current and new config file: n22 ~ # diff /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/._cfg0000_busybox-1.17.4 /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/busybox-1.17.4 4c4 < # Mon Jun 20 20:12:48 2011 --- > # Wed Dec 22 15:05:28 2010 which seems to be superfluous. Reproducible: Always
the .config is mostly managed by savedconfig.eclass that said, etc-update takes care of merging things automatically, so i dont see much point in addressing this # etc-update Scanning Configuration files... Automerging trivial changes in: /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/busybox-1.18.4 Exiting: Nothing left to do; exiting. :)
